摘要： 羞怯是指社交情境中的不舒服和/或者抑制, 会妨碍个体对人际目标或职业目标的追求; 表现为过分地自我关注、全神贯注于个人的想法, 以及某些情绪和生理的反应。近几年, 从行为遗传学的角度探讨羞怯的成因成为该领域研究的前沿与热点。早期的双生子研究与分子遗传学的研究结果表明, 羞怯与遗传密切相关; 5-HTTLPR短型基因与羞怯的关系尤为密切; 羞怯可能是多种基因以及基因与环境交互作用的结果。

Abstract: Shyness refers to, discomfort and/or inhibition in social situations that interferes one's pursuing for interpersonal or professional goals. It often manifests as excessive self-focus, preoccupation with one's thoughts, and a variety of emotional and physiological responses. Recent years have witnessed the upsurge of behavioural genetic approach in the study of the causes of shyness. Findings from both twins studies and molecular genetics studies have demonstrated that shyness has important genetic underpinnings, with particularly strong associations with the short gene 5-HTTLPR. Shyness is the consequence of the complex interactions between genes and also between genes and environment.

Key words: shyness, behavioral genetics, molecular genetics, gene, 5-HTTLPR
